They shot at least 4 endings because neither Marciano nor Ali knew the actual outcome at the time they were "fighting":

Marciano by KO
Ali by KO
Marciano by decision
Ali by decision

Re your four endings of the Marciano fight. You are ahead of me- great. A sort of thought here- not mine though. It could be that on a given night, a boxing hero, just may have been sort of invincible. Someone wisely said that match Ali and Rocky seven times, and the Rock could have lost six, and could have taken Ali out once.

Yes, that stunning destruction of powerful "Big Cat" Williams by Ali. Only 206 1bs though,this great fighting machine. What a demolition. Then the Marciano punch that wrecked Jersey Joe Walcott in their first bout. Wow.

Once in a while something comes up to make these threads hum - and no unpleasantness. Somebody is going to come up with a thread titled. Name your greatest T/V fights of all time..... LOL.
